Quantum Universe VIDEO Collquium: The entropy of Hawking radiation

by Juan Maldacena (Institute for Advanced Study)

Tuesday 24 Mar 2020, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Berlin

Auditorium (Hamburg)

We will review developments over the past decade on a new formula for computing gravitational entropy. This formula gives the fine grained, or von Neumann entropy of the black hole in terms of the area of a certain minimal surface. Using this it is possible to compute the entropy of the radiation that comes out of a black hole. With this new formula one obtains a result that follows the results expected for a unitary theory, as opposed to the result obtained by Hawking.
